How do I set up a Mapped drive/remote drive to be accessed through HTM

[ticks316]

Im trying to set up a webpage through which I can access directories and files on my computer, as well as REMOTE COMPUTERS.

What entry should I use in the Document Base to be able to access a mapped drive?

If you mean you have a webapp on a remote mapped drive :

      <Host name="serverName" debug="0" appBase="/some/remote/drive"
       unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
       xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
          <Context path="" docBase="myWebAppDirectory" debug="0"
                   reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
         </Context>
      </Host>

Thanks Sedj. So will this help me put up a link in HTML format, so if I click on this link- it will take me to a mapped drive?

And where do I add this code that you gave me?

Thanks for replying

For example, if I have mapped a server called "fileserver" as my G:\. How do I access a folder in that? So if I click on an html link - it takes me to that folder.

I'd really appreaciate your help in this.

Thanks

Hmmm, I think we are at cross-purposes here. You don't mean loading a webapp from a remote code-base do you ?!

You mean, can I load a file from a webapp ?

Try this :

File f = new File("G:/myfile");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(f);

etc ...

You will need to code your "html" link to this appropriately.
